Nov 03,2023Happy Tears was so fun to work with. The owner John was so wonderful and he also offered a generous discount since my husband is a first responder. Jim was our videographer and my guests are still talking about how fun he was. I felt like I was the main character in a romcom. His energy was contagious and he was dancing with us and directing us during songs to be the center of attention. Happy Tears exceeded my expectations more than I can believe. I cannot believe how beautiful and perfect our videos are. Thank you Happy Tears!!

Nov 02,2023I highly recommend hiring Happy Tears as your videographer! John and Jim were absolutely amazing! To start, John will be your person of contact and he was always quick to answer and available to help if you had any planning questions (literally about anything—I asked him about uplighting and he actually got on the phone with me and was super helpful with his advice and listened to everything I had to say)! He also provides many different packages and works with you on budget which was super helpful for us. John also edited our video and it came about AMAZING! The editing was incredible and we got the video so quick! I was beyond impressed with his work! Second, we had Jim as our videographer and he was just as amazing! Let me tell you, everyone at the wedding loved Jim! He was hilarious and brought such a bright energy to the day/night! He legit got everyone up and dancing and got incredible footage throughout the night. When you hire Happy Tears, I highly recommend asking for Jim! You absolutely NOT be disappointed in your decision !

Oct 02,2023We are very happy to have picked happy tears for our videography! John was easy to communicate with throughout the process and Jim was amazing to work with at the wedding! Happy with the video we have received so far

Aug 26,2023John was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. We weren’t too sure about hiring a videographer until we had spoken with John. John is great at clearly communicating all of the details and important dates. Towards our wedding day, we were informed that Rose would be our videographer. She came highly recommended and is often requested. Rose was AMAZING! She is so versatile in her skills. Not only is she a videographer, she is an officiant, has worked for David’s Bridal, and so much more! She was such an asset on our wedding for so much more than recording the video. So many special moments were documented and John really captured our love in our video. He made sure to include all of the important moments, meaningful words, and fun vibes that were shared that day. I am so beyond happy we were able to hire John and his team to capture the day and create our forever memory. Video quality: The videos are very clear with both picture and audio Professionalism: Both John and Rose were kind and professional in their communication through email, text, phone calls and in person Pricing: John has curated an amazing pricing system for each package, bonus if you qualify for a discount! He is very reasonable and does his best to meet your needs while knowing the worth of his services. Time: John is very on top of his work. We didn’t have many videos ahead of us, which we are VERY fortunate to have experienced. However, John often communicates updates and timelines. Obvious pun, but there were SO MANY HAPPY TEARS when we watched our video and cannot stop smiling ear to ear!

Aug 15,2023We had the pleasure of hiring Happy Tears Productions to capture the most important day of our lives - our wedding day, and we can confidently say that their work exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, Happy Tears Productions demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for their craft. Right from our initial consultation, Happy Tears Productions took the time to understand our vision for the wedding video. They attentively listened to our preferences, concerns, and even provided valuable suggestions that elevated the final product. This level of dedication and engagement set the tone for the entire collaboration. On the day of the wedding, Happy Tears Productions seamlessly blended into the background, capturing intimate moments and candid interactions without causing any disruption. Their ability to capture the essence of each moment is truly remarkable. Every time we watch the video, we're transported back to our wedding day, reliving every emotion, laughter, and tear. The editing and post-production work by Happy Tears Productions were nothing short of magical. The attention to detail, choice of music, and seamless transitions between scenes created a coherent and captivating narrative. The final video was not just a chronological sequence of events, but a beautifully woven story that managed to encapsulate the entire day's emotions. What truly sets Happy Tears Productions apart is their commitment to delivering the highest quality work. The video was delivered on time, and the production value was outstanding. The colors, lighting, and overall cinematography were breathtaking, making it feel like we were watching a professionally produced film. Furthermore, the communication throughout the entire process was exemplary. Happy Tears Productions was always responsive to our queries and kept us updated on the progress. This level of communication and transparency instilled a sense of confidence in their abilities, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day without worrying about the videography. In conclusion, hiring Happy Tears Productions was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their skill, dedication, and passion for their craft resulted in a wedding video that is nothing short of a masterpiece. If you're looking for a videographer who will not only document your wedding day but also artistically craft a timeless memory, then Happy Tears Productions is the one to choose. We are eternally grateful for their work and the precious memories they've preserved for us.

Aug 12,2023Choosing Happy Tears to document all of our most special moments in life has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. John, the owner, reached out to us after we had our baby girl and offered to come shoot a “Welcome Home” video for her. We are so grateful as it’ll be so fun to look back on these moments that mean so much to us. Tell me where you can find a videographer like John and Happy Tears that actually care about their customers like they do?! So kind, easy to work with, and they produce great work! We can’t wait to celebrate our wedding with them next June and 100% trust them to capture our big day just as we imagine!

Jul 20,2023My husband Jim and I were recently married in NJ and so lucky to have Happy Tears as our wedding videography team. I was referred to John of Happy Tears through my good friend. My husband and I found ourselves in an unlucky situation as our first videographer took our deposit and disappeared. From the moment we had our first phone call with John, he was invested in us as a couple and reassuring of his commitment to providing quality videography for our wedding day. That reassurance continued throughout our wedding planning process as he often reached out to us with updates and words of encouragement. Even on the morning of our wedding, John reached out with well wishes! For our wedding day, John sent THE BEST videographer (also named Jim, like my husband). Jim arrived on time, was friendly and made everyone laugh during a hectic morning. He went above and beyond to capture drone footage, video of our whole wedding day, and even a few special requests we had for our video. He brought a fun energy to the entire day, pumping up the wedding party and guests. We had many people comment on how great Jim was as our videographer. Following our wedding, John continued to communicate about the progress of editing our video and shortly after, we received it. As my husband and I sat watching our video with happy tears in our eyes, we re-lived our special day all over again. John edited our video to perfection, blending together the audio from our day with the meaningful songs that we chose. Videography was not something that I placed an initial importance on, but it is absolutely something that I can’t imagine not having now. One of our greatest decisions in the wedding process was booking HAPPY TEARS. Thank you John and Jim for everything!

Jul 14,2023John is the owner of Happy Tears Production. He was truly a pleasure to work with leading up to our big day. He is super responsive to emails, texts and phone calls. You can tell right away that he has a true passion for what he does. The day of our actually wedding we worked with 2 of his other videographers, Rose and Mike. They blended into the background seamlessly. But when needed Rose would step in to fix a detail or offer a suggestion and we were happy to be surrounded by professional experts. We opted for the “Cinema” video and John had it to us within weeks of the wedding. We enjoyed the final product of our Cinema video so much, that we actually touched base with John down the road to also create for us a second “Documentary” video. Again, John was extremely responsive. He made our second video for us in less than a month after re-contacting him. We would recommend John and his team without any reservations. You will not be disappointed!

Jul 12,2023From the moment we met John, we knew we were going to use Happy Tears for our wedding videography. The prices are unbeatable with so many discounted options which truly helped in planning for our big day. John was extremely communicative and transparent through the planning process, and continued checking in with us as time got closer to the big day. We had Chris as our videographer for our wedding day, and he was absolutely phenomenal. He was sweet, funny, and he seemed to mesh super well with my photographer, so much so that many of my bridesmaids thought they were from the same studio! I cannot say enough great things about Chris – he brought the great vibes and did a phenomenal job with capturing the best day of our lives. John got previews to us just a few short days while we were on our honeymoon, and we could not stop watching them!! We received our extended highlights film and Chris captured so many amazing parts of the day in such a perfect way. I have legitimately recommended Happy Tears to all of my engaged friends and I am so excited that I’ll get to work with them in some capacity at my friends’ weddings in the future!! BOOK HAPPY TEARS – you will not be disappointed!! 😊

Jul 12,2023Using Happy Tears was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! John was a pleasure to work with and he was always talked to you like you've been friends for years! We had Rose as our day of videographer and she was excellent! She got great shots, and was willing to go the extra mile when needed! We did the ~10 minute cinema production for our video which came out amazing! It captured the best parts of the day and definitely made a lot of people who watched it cry happy tears! We also got our video back less than 3 weeks after the wedding which was way faster than I ever expected! Also, the discounts John offers are amazing and makes videography super affordable! Don't hesitate to book Happy Tears, you won't regret it!

Jun 26,202310/10 John was so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. He completely understood what important aspects we wanted in the video and created such amazing highlight videos! He responded to emails/text in a promptly manner and always ensured he was helping us the best he could! Jim was the videographer who came to the venue the day of and he was amazing!! He captured all the best moments during photos as well as the entire ceremony. He was in the middle of the dance floor getting all of our guests involved! I cannot thank and recommend Happy Tears Productions enough!

Jun 14,2023Happy Tears production was a 10/10 experience. From the initial inquiry to follow up after the wedding John was great with communication. John also is upfront about pricing and lays out options to work with your budget. Rose was our videographer and arrived earlier than her scheduled time and gave us more footage than was originally planned. She navigated through each segment of the day without noticing any setup or camera equipment. Our highlight video was edited beautifully. I am so happy we chose happy tears for our wedding day.

Jun 10,2023We loved working with John throughout the whole process!! He made it very easy. Jim was our videographer at our wedding and he was absolutely amazing!!! He was a hype man and kept everyone excited, both our bridal party and guests! We couldn't have asked for a better videographer! Everyone was telling us how great he was! He showed us some of the shots he took and they looked amazing! We can't wait to see the final product! We found Happy Tears through a friend who used them for their wedding and they had Jim as well, so when John asked if we wanted Jim, there was no hesitation to us saying yes. I, the bride, knew how great Jim was from the friend's wedding because I was a bridesmaid and he was awesome there as well. Also Rose who was another one of our videographers, up until she became our officiant, was amazing as well! We added her as our second videographer last minute and we're so glad we did! ADDING MORE AND REPEATING OURSELVES BECAUSE HAPPY TEARS ARE JUST THAT GREAT OF A COMAPNY Back again to write a second review, now that we have all of our wedding videos (teaser, highlights & documentary). We are obsessed with our videos! John, Jim & Rose were such a great pleasure to work with!! John was so great to us with all of the behind the scenes work. Jim & Rose captured all the beautiful moments and we are so grateful that we have these to look back on. They made working with them feel like we were working with friends and not someone we just hired to video our wedding. I had the pleasure of seeing Jim's work in action at my best friend's wedding who I was a bridesmaid in and I am so glad he was available for my own wedding. He was such a hype man and everyone loved him. Everyone kept telling us how great he was. Jim was our main videographer as Rose took on another role of being our officiant. I hope we can somehow be able to work with Happy Tears again in the future! It was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding to hire Happy Tears as our videography company! Thank you so much again John, Jim & Rose! :)

Jun 07,2023Happy tears, there aren’t enough words to describe how AMAZING john and his team are. From the first day of contact up until this day, john has been incredibly helpful and attentive. His turn around time is pretty impressive. He so easy to work with and on the day of the wedding, he’s was my friend. And that right there is good business. He truly loves what he does and it shows. Everything came out perfect and if you’re hesitating, don’t. Hands down 20 out of 10!

May 31,2023Happy Tears Productions really brings out the “Happy Tears.” I recommend this company to ANYONE!!! John is great to work with, and made the planning process so easy! He is a great person and you can tell he is dedicated to his work. Jim was our primary videographer and he did a great job capturing beautiful moments that cannot be caught in a photograph. He was professional and fun to work with and we didn’t feel uncomfortable at any moment while being filmed. I will be honest my husband and I were on the fence about hiring a videographer in the first place because we were on a budget, but I am so happy we did go with John and Jim. The prices are reasonable, and the end product we received was well worth every cent if not more. I am so fortunate that I now have actual footage of my grandparents, parents, and other family and friends at my wedding that I wouldn’t have had if I didn’t take the leap and hire Happy Tears Productions. You will not be disappointed!!!

Apr 19,2023We recently hired Happy Tears and we couldn't be happier with our decision. This company made the entire process so easy and stress-free. They were very accommodating, friendly, and helped planned everything down to the minute. The videographer, Jim, was simply amazing. He had such great energy and was a pleasure to work with. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and captured all the special moments of our big day. We loved how he was on the dance floor the entire time with everyone, pumping the crowd up, and capturing the great moments that happened. What impressed us the most was how they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final product. They took the time to understand our vision and preferences and incorporated them into the video. The end result was nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend this company and their videographer Jim. They truly exceeded our expectations and we're so grateful to have these beautiful memories captured forever. Five stars all the way!

Apr 12,2023We couldn't have made a better decision when choosing our videographer! John was so informative and great to talk. He really cares about his couples and capturing their wedding day. Our videographer, Jim, from John's team, was incredible at getting the perfect shot. And everyone who attending our wedding said he was a blast! If you think your standards are, John and his team's are even higher! You will not be disappointed!

Mar 20,2023The team from Happy Tears was professional, exciting, and a super fun addition to our wedding day. The highlights video AND the extended cinematic video were well worth the price, as they will be something we enjoy regularly as a reminder of our perfect day.

Mar 06,2023Happy tears was a delight to work with. John really got to know us, and really listened to what our expectations and visions were for our wedding video. On the wedding day Jim was phenomenal, everything was perfect and he got so much great footage. The final videos were just what we were looking for and absolutely perfect. If you want an awesome team to work with book with Happy Tears!

Nov 07,2023My husband and I cannot thank Happy Tears Video enough for our beautiful video! I found happy tears video on Facebook in a bridal group after finding myself in a situation where i needed a new videographer. John the owner has been such an amazing person to work with! He always answered all my questions in a timely manner and even set up phone meetings to go over every detail leading up to the wedding. The day of we had Jeff and he was incredible. He worked perfectly with our photographers getting the perfect shots for our video. We received our final video just a day under from one month of the wedding and it was absolutely perfect! Not only did we have happy tears reliving the day but we also laughed and smiled. I cannot recommend John and his team enough!!
